Despite many years of continued efforts to draw attention and help reveal that a cantor should not sing the entire exultet and should omit that which has been designated to be sung by a deacon or priest only, (as the written instructions noted on every printed score used for the last twenty years ” has implied”) I am again disappointed to find that even with the new liturgy the choir will continue to have a cantor sing even that which I understand has been and continues to be reserved for an ordained minister, preferably the servant-deacon.
There has not even been a need for me to reiterate the question; the cantor acknowledging my historical objection and noting that the pastor has said it does not really matter as neither he nor the participating deacon wish to sing. Please suggest the simplest and best conversion tool or resource we might employ to take advantage of this evangelical opportunity. Surely something like this has been noted or even discussed before. I too am curious why instructions for a cantor to exclude a portion of the Exultet would be included if it was “optional” or “according to local tradition”.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never been able to overpower it.
